Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Morning Forecast
Drops of ice and rain,
Guided by cold winter wind.
The bicycle sits.

Frostbite
Wind chill near freezing,
with coffee warming the hands
to silence the pain.

bike on the trainer
sweat pouring off my body
wish it was warm out

My favorite:
with a rustling sigh
fallen leaves pursue and pass
others on the ground
